Rubbing Alcohol is your friend!

don't know what's more distrubing, the keyboard or the fact that you wanted to bring your camera to school just to take pics to show us.

Were you the guy who was bragging about having 60 gigs of porn on his machine?

:disgust:
60 gigs is a lot of porn.

On dialup? HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLL no. That was a friend. 60 gigs ain't much pr0n when you speak in terms of DVD rips though, which is my preferred format.

Ah. Well, that explains the pubes in your keyboard. You are single, aren't you?

A qucik and dirty way to do it (no pun intended), is to take the keyboard and flip it upside down (keys facing the desk) and then gently tap the upper edge of the key board on the surface of the desk. that will get most of the debris out from under the keys.

I always replace the keyboards in my school whenever they become that dirty (unless they are in an auto/machine lab, oily/dirty lab, etc). Keyboards are practicly use-abuse-dispose any more. They are in surplus.

As for my house... I am typing virtually the entire time that I am at home and not asleep. My keyboard doesn't look remotely that bad... the surface actually looks new. I would be scared to pop the keys off, though.

Hmm,i just cleaned my "Logitech" keyboard,

I turned off my computer,and used a thin facecloth with Isopropyl rubbing alcohol,
i used a credit card,and ran the thin facecloth inbetween the keys,and git a Lot of crud/stuff~ out,
from between the keys,also.

Wow,the keyboard looks almost like New!!

Thanks for the "PSA"
